I just bought myself a benchmade adamas folder and it rocks. According to the website, the blade length is 3.82". How does texas measure blade length on a folding knife? Is it just the sharpened edge or is it the sharpened edge plus the metal that resides between the handle (tang) where the blade pivots? If I include the extra metal, then I am at 5" so it looks like I am still legal according to the law.

From end of hilt/handle to end of tip.

Gigag, are you referring to the end of the handle where the blade pivot point is located?

Brown County badly needs a new DA.

Measure the knife and see what the manufacture determines the blade length to be.
If the manufacture length stops at the handle you should be good to go!
